Jenny Erpenbeck
“Have the people living here under untroubled circumstances and at so great a distance from the wars of others been afflicted with a poverty of experience, a sort of emotional anemia? Must living in peace - so fervently wished for throughout human history and yet enjoyed in only a few parts of the world - inevitably result in refusing to share it with those seeking refuge, defending it instead so aggressively that it almost looks like war?”
Jenny Erpenbeck, Gehen, ging, gegangen

H.G. Wells
“You cannot imagine the strange colour-less delight of these intellectual desires.”
H.G. Wells, The Island of Dr. Moreau

Emma Stonex
“Arthur wasn't made of that and never had been. He could make a fist but not use it, however much he might like to.”
Emma Stonex, The Lamplighters

Emma Stonex
“The time I think of you the most is when the sun comes up. The moment before, the minute or two, when night yawns for morning and the sea starts to separate from the sky.”
Emma Stonex, The Lamplighters

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!”
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote
